Ludic Decisions
i've been thinking lately that i should buy a nintendo dsi
but then i think, wait- why would do that?
aren't the games really kiddie? 
isn't it mad expensive
why not get a real (big) console?
don't i have better things to spend money on?
then i realize:
the games are solid 
Assassin's Creed
Rhythm Heaven
Myst
Scribblenauts
Ghostwire
FIFA 2009
where you find ghosts in your room with the DSi's camera
 its not  too expensive
$169
vs. iPod Touch @ $229
or Xbox Arcarde @ $200
is it better than the psp?
not even a question
perhaps i should buy a ds lite instead?
and risk all the new games that will be developed for DSi?
and fail to have an up-to-date game system for the first time in my life?
and miss out on the internet browser and online shop?
Plus
i f***ing deserve this 
I study digital media
video games & ludic technology
being an important part of 
Digital Culture
cuz i got diabetes 
and now i don't drink as much
Here's the math- 
B4 Diabetes, I drank about $20 (2 sixpacks w/ Friends) in a week, maybe more

4 Weeks Later
I have spent only $20 on beer total
Saving me $60
By the end of the summer, I will have saved enuff in not drinking to
Buy a DSi
 all things pointing to
